A thoughtful place to read
Closer to the words.
Clear about the source.
World Bible Guide brings the King James Bible, a plain-language companion, and illustrated books into one quiet reading experience. The whole Bible is free.
The Scripture text
Scripture quotations on this website come from the King James Version in the same database used by the app. Reading guides link to the surrounding chapter so you can explore a passage in context.
The plain-language companion
The companion is a paraphrase for exploration and reflection. It is not a separate scholarly translation or a replacement for the King James text. Paraphrases involve interpretation; compare the wording with Scripture and bring questions to trusted teachers and sources.
Our reading guides
The guides on this website were developed with AI assistance. They offer suggested passages and reflection prompts, with Scripture drawn directly from the app’s KJV database. They have not been presented as independently reviewed biblical scholarship. We encourage reading the whole passage and considering more than one interpretation.
Artwork and Speak
The illustrations help you explore the books; they are artistic interpretations, not historical evidence. Speak offers AI conversations with constructed interpretations of people from the Bible. These are not the actual people, do not speak on their behalf, and have no divine or spiritual authority. Responses may contain errors.
Free reading. Optional conversations.
All 66 books, all 31,102 verses, their plain-language companions, and the daily verse are free. A subscription adds more Speak usage. See what each option includes.
